Elitist Teams

[Wayne TenBrink]

Our experiences with 67, both as partners and opponents, have always been positive.

There have been a lot of good points made in this thread. I particularly agree with Adam Freeman about the need for a separate thread about Qualification Match etiquette vs. Elimination Round etiquette. I have a rather strong opinion about elimination rounds - the captain has final say on strategy and tactics. For qualifications rounds I'm still not quite sure what the proper etiquette is. We try to come in with a well reasoned plan, and usually our alliance partners go along. When there are different opinions, I'm never sure how hard I should push, or when I should shut up and agree to something I'm not fully on-board with. A lot of it depends on who you are talking to, and sometimes you have different ways of looking at things or different short term priorities. Regardless, we always do our best to start with some plan and follow it as best we can (say what you'll do and do what you say).

Also, its a different world behind the glass. I urge everbody to take any perceived insult or perceived intentional deviations from the plan with a grain of salt.
